HIPPI card LEDs
The HIPPI media card has one receive (from destination) interface and one transmit (to source)
interface. The upper interface, A, is the RCV or destination interface. The lower interface, B, is
the SRC or source interface. Figure 5-18 shows the set of eight LEDs at the top of the
faceplate.

LED
Description
Power
This green LED is on when GRF power is on.
Status
When self-test completes, this green LED turns on and remains steadily
on during normal operations. The Status LED blinks when an error
condition is detected.
DST ENA
(local)
This green LED is on when the input destination interface is asserting the
interconnect signal and is ready for operation.
SRC ENA
(local)
This green LED is on when the output source interface is asserting the
interconnect signal and is ready for operation.
DST ENA
(remote)
HIPPI directly connects to a HIPPI host or to a network device.
This green LED is on when the remote destination interface is asserting
the interconnect signal and is ready for operation.
SRC ENA
(remote)
HIPPI directly connects to a HIPPI host or to a network device.
This green LED is on when the remote source interface is asserting the
interconnect signal and is ready for operation.
RX ACT
This green LED indicates data is being received at the input interface, the
blink rate depends on the traffic load.
TX ACT
This green LED indicates data is being sent from at the output interface,
the blink rate depends on the traffic load.
